At the beginning, Yue Sheng sent Wan Mulin back to Shanghai to arrange everything, and finally succeeded in taking Gao Tao and the two back to Hong Kong, but he thought that he was doing it without knowing it, but as soon as he reported to Chongqing, he already knew the whereabouts of Gao Tao and the others, and even told them where they were hiding in Hong Kong.

But Yue Sheng really didn't know which department this force belonged to, and now when he heard Jiang Tianhe's words, he was also shocked, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Is it Ning Zhiheng's people?" ”

For Ning Zhiheng, Yue Sheng was naturally clear, and even had a lot of dealings back then, but at that time, Ning Zhiheng was only the major and deputy stationmaster of Shanghai Station, and Yue Sheng didn't care too much.

Later, however, this person rose to prominence, soared into the sky, entered the center of the military command, held great power in the army, and became the absolute top of the Military Command Bureau.

If we meet again now, even Yue Sheng will bow his head, and it will no longer be the scene of the past.

"I see! I asked why I had been in Hong Kong for so long, but Brother Yunong never mentioned it to me. ”

It seems that even the bureau can't master this force, and Jiang Tianhe naturally can't either, Yue Sheng can't help but be a little disappointed.

"Brother Yue Sheng, I still have work in my hands, I have to go out this afternoon, please worry more about the drawings!"

"Okay, don't worry, I will do my best to look for it, and I will notify you as soon as there is news." Yue Sheng immediately nodded in agreement.

That night, in a hidden villa, Ning Zhiheng was listening to the report of his subordinates.

Zuo Gang spoke first: "Zuo Zao, we have been staring around the Yue Mansion for two days, he has not gone out, but a few people have come to the door, and after being identified by the intelligence team, they are all leaders of local gangs, as well as businessmen from the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"All locals? Isn't there anything else to discover? Ning Zhiheng asked.

"Yes, at about four o'clock this afternoon, six people came out of the Yue Mansion and drove two cars away, according to the surveillance records of the previous few days, the intelligence team personnel identified that these people were not from the Yue Mansion, we immediately sent someone to follow them, but the strange thing is that these people have rich experience in anti-tracking, and the two cars separated soon after leaving the Yue Mansion, we were worried that the other party would find out, so in order not to alarm them, so we gave up tracking."

Ning Zhiheng immediately asked, "Did you alarm them?" ”

"There shouldn't be, we only tracked one of the cars, but the other party's driving skills are very good, in the downtown near Central, the distance is widened, if we follow, it is easy to expose the whereabouts, so we had to stop tracking, until about eight o'clock in the evening, the two cars returned to the Yue Mansion, and there was no one missing."

At this time, if you look closely behind you, if there is a car with the same action, then it is easy to identify someone following, based on this reason, Zuo Gang decisively gave up the tracking operation.

"These people are very experienced in intelligence, and they are fresh faces, they should not be Yue Sheng's subordinates, nine times out of ten they are people sent by the headquarters, they have some moves, maybe it is related to the drawings, you have to increase your strength to monitor these people, send more people to control everywhere, I want to know their whereabouts, in addition, if possible, take more photos, let the brothers identify them, and confirm their identities."

"Yes!" Zuo Gang nodded and took the order.

Ning Zhiheng saw Shen Xiang again and asked, "Is there any movement in the Japanese consulate?" ”

Shen Xiang shook his head and said: "No, the Japanese consul has met with the British side once, but the military attache Hidehiko Suzuki has not been found, and there are many other people who come and go, and we have no ability to track them one by one." ”

Ning Zhiheng didn't have much hope for this, the current situation is to find a needle in a haystack, and there are really not too many means, monitoring the reactions of all sides, just to judge the direction of searching.

He opened his mouth and said, "Now it's time for the British to move, Hongyi, have you made contact with Yongfeng?" ”

"At present, I have been contacted by phone, and I have agreed with her to meet at 8 o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow to discuss in detail." Ji Hongyi replied.

At the intelligence gathering in Shanghai, Huo Yueze had already agreed with Yongfeng on the contact information just in case, and Ji Hongyi contacted Yongfeng without much effort.

"Oh?"

Ning Zhiheng groaned for a moment and asked, "Is it the time she took the initiative to agree?" ”

"Yes!" Ji Hongyi nodded and said.

"Without news, it's useless for her to see us, which means that there is a good chance that she will gain something." Ning Zhiheng suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes flashed.

At present, the most likely to find the drawings are the British, Ning Zhiheng does not have much expectations for the Japanese and the military command, but is most interested in the reaction of the British, and can only rely on the line of Yongfeng in this regard.

"It's a good job, I'll go see her in person when the time comes, this woman has been operating in South China for many years, and her intelligence power is far superior to ours, and our strength in Hong Kong is insufficient, so we can only spend money to find helpers."

At this time, Shen Xiang reported: "Seat, the matter of your letting me investigate the microfilm equipment has been settled. ”

"Oh, say it!"

"At present, in Hong Kong, such high-end equipment is still very scarce, according to the goal you instructed before, we carried out an investigation, and only found two microfilm equipment, one is in the archives of the HSBC Bank in Hong Kong, and the other is in the library of the University of Hong Kong, both of which have matching duplicators, as for whether other secrecy departments have, we are not clear for a while.

HSBC's equipment is mainly used to store bank transactions, which is used more frequently, and involves a lot of confidential documents, so their management system is very strict, and we spent some time, but only investigated the general situation of the archives, and it is very difficult to get close.

The equipment of the University of Hong Kong is easy to investigate, but it is only used to store some ancient books that are old and difficult to preserve, and they are usually only stored in the reference room, which is rarely used, and the reference room is responsible for managing the equipment, named Liao Chengren, which is some of his materials. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Xiang handed over a document to Ning Zhiheng, and then introduced: "Liao Chengren, forty-three years old, was originally a history teacher at the University of Hong Kong, and later transferred to the library as an administrator, he has always been in charge of the reference room, and there is also his address here, his wife is unemployed at home, and he has a son and a daughter......

Shen Xiang's intelligence ability is undoubted, and he is meticulous and meticulous, otherwise he would not have been sent to Hong Kong by Ning Zhiheng to take charge of himself, and the information investigated is very detailed, which makes Ning Zhiheng very satisfied.

"I want to focus on investigating this person, I want to know more details!" Ning Zhiheng commanded.

In the night, on the street near the dock, the frustrated Feizi was walking all the way, and soon came to a tenement building, entered the gate, walked a few steps up the stairs, came to a room door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and Ah Ren in the house looked at Feizi in surprise, and couldn't help asking, "What, didn't you go to the gambling stall?" Come to me so late, what's the matter? ”

Fei Zai ignored him, stepped into the house, came to the chair and sat down, and said angrily: "It's all lost, and I owe a lot of money to the rotten ghost!" ”

Thinking about the scene in the casino just now, Fei Zai was even more annoyed, his luck has become more and more negative these days, and today he is even more defeated, thinking about making money, he borrowed a lot of money from the rotten ghost who watched the scene, and the result is needless to say, he lost all his money again.

When Ah Ren heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and shook his head, they are in the crew industry, and their income is far more generous than that of ordinary people, but it is precisely because of this that they are young and do not know moderation, and they have a lot of vices, drinking prostitution, gambling and gambling, so they have no savings at all, they spend as much as they want, and it is common to owe money.

He turned around and poured a cup of herbal tea for Feizai, put it in front of him, and comforted: "Forget it, when the rumor passes after a while, we will quickly take out the freight at the bottom of the ship, and wait for Brother Bing to pay the account, and after the shot, we will settle it for the rotten ghost Dong, that guy is famous for not letting people admit money, be careful that he really you." ”

Feizi picked up the herbal tea, raised his head and drank it all, let out a long breath, and then said angrily: "It's too late, this guy is crazy, he has to force me to settle the account within three days, otherwise he really wants to deal with me, three days?" Now that the ship is still in the hands of the British, how can I take out the goods? Besides, this time I owe a little too much, even if I make a move, it is not enough to pay it back. ”

"What?" Ah Ren's eyes widened suddenly, "It's not enough to get the goods out, how much do you owe?" ”

"Ten thousand!" Fei Zai reluctantly stretched out a finger.

"Ten thousand? You are crazy! Ah Ren couldn't help but exclaim, he never expected Feizi to owe so much.

Hong Kong began to officially issue the Hong Kong dollar a few years ago, and since then, because of the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy, the value of the Hong Kong dollar has been relatively strong, even after the Sino-Japanese War, it has not been affected much, about 16 Hong Kong dollars is worth 1 pound, or about 4 US dollars.

10,000 Hong Kong dollars, worth more than 2,000 US dollars, this is definitely a huge amount of money for Feizi and Ah Ren, you must know that most of the goods they bring are Bingge's goods, and their own goods can only earn a small part of it, even if they add all the profits of the two people, it is not enough to pay it back!

Fei Zai also scratched his hair in annoyance, and said fiercely: "Rotten Ghost Dong must be cheating on me, damn it, this time it's too big!" ”

Ah Ren's face was gloomy, he knew that this time the matter was big, and asked in a low voice: "It's troublesome this time, we just put all the money into it, it's not enough, the power of the rotten ghost is very big, even Brother Bing can't bear so many debts for us, what do you say?" ”

"So I'm coming to you, you must have a way!" Feizi raised his head and stared at Ah Ren tightly, and said word by word.
